Nearly 20 bands and hip hop groups put on a concert Friday night to benefit the young women targeted by hate speech on the MAX last month, right before a brutal knife attack that killed two men.

The concert was held at the Roseland Theater, with all of the profits going to the two teen girls on the MAX train that day. Organizers said they want to do everything they can to support them as they try to recover from this traumatic event.

Authorities said Jeremy Christian shouted religious and racist slurs at 16-year-old Destinee Mangum and her friend leading to a violent confrontation that wounded Fletcher and killed Ricky Best and Taliesian Namkai-Meche.

Fletcher is in a poetry group with John Slaughter, who wanted to help. Slaughter, a musician like Fletcher, rallied his friends, got the Roseland to donate space and put on the big show.

He said every dollar raised will go right to the girls for whatever therapy or future care they need.

“It’s about these ladies who were harassed, who were targeted, who were oppressed,” Slaughter said. “We need to talk about those different things.”
